Here's what some people have to say about Mark's dynamic presentations...Mark McLaughlin has my highest recommendation as a speaker and presenter of California history. He was the keynote speaker for the American
Volkssport Association national convention held in Sacramento, CA in June 2007 and his presentation was outstanding and enthusiastically received by our 1,000 attendees. He has my endorsement as a great addition to
any gathering. You were fantastic! Our audience really loved your presentation and we were all so impressed with your wealth of knowledge. I hope that you felt the long
drive was worth it because it would be great to have you return. Mark McLaughlin is a natural-born educator who has been delighting Elderhostel audiences at programs in the Lake Tahoe area and Reno for the
past 14 years. Mark's combination of enthusiasm, expertise, specialized knowledge of the region and wonderful sense of humor make him an outstanding presenter. In addition Mark is able to adjust his classes to meet
the interests of the group and enjoys interacting with people. His lectures in the classroom and on field trips always receive the highest evaluations from our discriminating Elderhostel clientele. Mark, you always come through for us and your efforts are outstanding. Your work is always so good that I have no doubt it will be a highlight
of the History Gallery. On February 10, 2005, Squaw Valley Institute was proud to host a talk by Mark McLaughlin titled "The Story of the Donner Party." Mr. McLaughlin
captivated one of the largest audiences to ever attend one of our events. Without notes, he related this fascinating story and included many details and anecdotes that are probably not widely known and made this
true story much more interesting. We definitely look forward to having him back to make another presentation in the near future." On behalf of the Tahoe Trail Trekkers hiking club and the California Volkssport Association, I would like to thank you for making our Saturday
night dinner function such a success. You were certainly the highlight of the evening. Many of the people I talked to afterwards stated that this was the best CVA convention that they ever attended. Your
enlightening presentation allowed many people to leave the convention with a much better knowledge of how Lake Tahoe became such an important part of California history and such a popular spot on the world map. I
look forward to experiencing more of your lectures and hope our club and the CVA group can also. Mark has been enthralling our guests and Homeowners at the Red Wolf Lodge every Monday evening for more than a year now and it has become their
favorite activity. It is refreshing to see such enthusiasm and knowledge from Mark at each of his weekly presentations. His entertaining style and natural ability to keep his audience hanging
on every word makes learning fun while being educational. Mark is a consummate professional who teaches locals and visitors alike about our region's colorful history and the importance of keeping our
beautiful lake clean now and for years to come. I have lived in North Tahoe for fourteen years and have never met anyone that has such quality of content. He is a man that stands by his convictions, love of the
weather, history, and his endearing love for our lake. Thank you, Mark. On behalf of the Carson River Coalition 2004 Conference Committee, I thank you for your enlightening, well-prepared and valuable presentation at
the conference. Your particular expertise enhanced the knowledge of al the attendees, as expressed in their complimentary evaluations. We greatly appreciate the time you took to help inform us on the flood and
droughts in our watershed. Be assured that the conference has provided the foundation for initiating measures for protection of the Carson River Floodplain. If anyone is a true pioneer, it's you! Your passion is your love of history and it shows in your writings and in your storytelling! It's always
a delight to hear you speak!
